Too much? (47,120)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I think this tour might be too much for Mariah right now. With the tour, the divorce, the twins, and the media it seems like it would be a lot to handle. Maybe Mariah should just take a break and get away from the lime light and enjoy being a mom maybe work on her voice. Just relax and let things cool down for a bit and get her life together. This tour could be Mariah's way of getting away from it all. She'd be away from direct media scrutiny, she wouldn't deal with the divorce. She'd get to do what she loves, connect with the fans and sing. At the end of the day I hope Mariah proves me wrong and shows me that she's got this and the tour just started off on the wrong foot.

Live album (47,063)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
Since Mariah has said that on tour we might hear new music from her I'd love for her to sing a new song every other date and record her doing that then release every song to iTunes on a certain day like Saturday or Tuesday. After the final performance release the songs as one big live album. Almost like what Justin Bieber did with his album Journals but 10 times better.

I think she is saying Eric B was president. I think it's a reference to an old hip hop song Eric B is president, which is from a hip hop group Eric B and Rakim. It would make sense since the song is based around old school hip hop. The song itself is based around a sample of the song Da Mystery of Chessboxin' by the Wu-Tang Clan. I hope this helps.

Cover (46,751)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the reason Ariana could cover Mariah is because she isn't making money off of it. I think because it wasn't released commercially she can't make money from it thus she isn't violating copyright.

The wind (46,750)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I usually skip over this this track when I listen to Emotions but today I decided to listen to it. I found myself pleasantly surprised. This song is hauntingly beautiful. If I'm correct I believe it's about a friend of hers that died in a drunk driving accident. Lyrically this song is so beautiful. "The pain is gone, gone with the spirit in your eyes", "you've flown into the wind, escaping all the hurt within". She was what 21/22 when she wrote this song. That's amazing to write a song like this at such a young age. To top it off she wrote it by herself. This song alone can prove that Mariah is an amazing lyricist. I never thought of Mariah doing a jazz album as a possibility but hearing this song I can see it happening. If it were I would fully support it.

Comeback (46,704)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
2015 is almost here, and as we all know 5 is Mariah's lucky number so I see this as her comeback year. I'm so ready for her to make a comeback. In my opinion she never left but that's besides the point. I need her to comeback and show all the people saying she's over or that Ariana's replacing her, they are wrong. I'm through not seeing her at award shows. Mariah's had a career spanning almost 25 years and I still get the feeling she's an underdog in the industry. It seems as though with everything she does she has to work 10 times harder than everyone else to prove herself. 2015 will be the year people will finally be able to grasp the enormous talent that is Mariah Carey. No longer will she be shut out by the Grammys or told she's past her prime. 2015 is the year of Mariah.

Slow jams (46,695)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
Throughout Mariah's career she's done so many different types of songs. From pop to hip hop to rock even. But one of my favorite types that she's done are slow jams. She only has a few but the few she does have always end up being the gems of the album so it evens out. There's Yours, the funkier more upbeat All My Life, Candy Bling, Bliss which I consider to be the best song off Rainbow, then the smooth and sensual Babydoll, and of course the one that started it all, Underneath The Stars. The best cut off of Daydream besides Looking In. I hope she puts a slow jam on her next album. Slow jams are really good songs to use her whisper voice and pull out the whistle.

You are correct. Everything Fades Away was included on the Hero single. That's how I got my copy of the song. Thanks for the reply to my post. I'm not a writer though just incredibly passionate about Butterfly getting the credit it deserves. Even though it sold 5 million I feel people tend to sleep on it because it wasn't as strong as it's predecessor Daydream. They are right though, it's not as strong as Daydream, it's stronger.

Butterfly (46,678)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I was listening to Butterfly again recently and this album just has to be Mariah's best album. I know some people say Daydream because that's when her writing really became personal and the hip hop roots were shaping up to be what they are today. But Butterfly is when it was peaked her writing was it best and most personal and the hip hop was smooth and she didn't feel the need for so many rappers. This album is so cohesive and all the tracks mesh together so well. Her voice flows like honey on every track. It got some of Mariah's best songs like the infectious jam Honey, the uplifting Butterfly, the Latin lover track My All, the moody and dark The Roof, the smooth jazzy The 4th of July, the neglected yet relatable Breakdown, and of course my favorite and what I consider to be the best, the lyrically astounding vocally amazing life saving Outside. This album isn't something you listen to its something you feel. you don't have to think who did she write this about because the songs are so relatable that you can place yourself in every song.

Everything Fades Away (46,677)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
This song should have been on the standard edition of Music Box. It's a really beautiful song. This is one of the songs where Mariah lets the background singers play a major role in the song. They pretty much make this one. I love the part where the male background singers come in and they sing in a low pitch but Mariah sings in a higher pitch and their voices overlap. This and Sing Away have to be my favorite rare/unreleased songs by her.

Lyrics (46,360)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I've been listening to alot of different artists looking for some good songwriters but at the end of the day I always seem to come back to Mariah. Her lyrics are so poetic and honest. It's almost like every time she writes a song she's copying a page from her diary for us to read. She writes them in a way that makes them relatable to us and herself. She makes them original and strays from the cliches. I love how she can take any subject matter from partying to love to loss and make it original and add her own Mariahisms to it. I don't think you can get a better songwriter than Mariah. If she weren't a singer she'd probably be a songwriter or beautician.

Nowhere but down (46,340)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I have know idea what Mariah's going to do after all of this over. It must be so emotionally and physically draining on her. With Nick and his dad commenting on her health and the kids. Then there's all the people on the internet that couldn't give a rat's a** about Mariah before, but the moment they hear she's separated they think they know something about her insecurities or the way she acts outside of the public eye. I only see this going downhill. Hopefully I'm wrong and Mariah can find solace and peace in her fans, dem babies, her family, and the Lord.

Nick's dad (46,294)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
Here's what Nick's dad posted in case anybody want to read. It's really mean and kind of upsetting that somebody would post this. Especially during this time. Here's a thing to talk about. If the wife loves sex and the man can’t stand making love to her, what should that woman do? Here's a thing, if the husband says no lies, and the wife lies all the time, what should that man do? [censored] Here's a thing, if a husband wants to have ten children and his wife only wants two children then what should that man do?

Revisiting the album (46,293)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
After hearing about the separation I've revisited MIAM and listened to it all over again. There is a lot of sadness and pain on this album. Some of it disguised by upbeat tempos. If these songs were written before they separated just imagine the album that could come after it. It could be a modern day Butterfly and be very dark and moody or a modern day Rainbow which would be uplifting and happy. Hopefully the latter.

Separation (46,238)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
It's really sad to hear Mariah and Nick are separated. I bet this is terribly hard on the both of them with all the media scrutiny and people placing blame on one of them or the other. I hope they can work it out and stay together. It would suck for Mariah to have to relive what her parents went through. Even if they can't work it out I hope they maintain a friendly relationship if not for themselves then for their kids.

Missed opportunity with Ariana Grande (46,005)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
Since we're back on the Ariana topic is like to say that Mariah missed a huge opportunity with Ariana. I understand we're both of the. Are coming from. Mariah is a legend and is being told that some new girl that doesn't even have a #1 single is replacing her. Ariana is a new singer that finds inspiration in Mariah so her music is bound to be reminiscent of Mariah. I think they could've had a Brandy Whitney thing had Mariah not felt threatened by Ariana. They could've worked together later in Ariana's career and Mariah could've mentored her. But that won't happen because Mariah doesn't know who she is.

Turkish magazine interview (45,920)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I read Mariah's interview for the Turkish magazine gay mag. I found it really interesting that she recorded most of the album with a sinus infection and that most of the vocals are demo versions that she decided to keep. Then just work on the production for those songs. So guess this explains the imperfections in the vocals. She kept them like that because she liked them. If you want to read the interview you can go to the Mariah Carey Community Facebook page or Vision Of Love Mariah tumblr page.

JD (45,863)

Bye bye JD. It kinda sucks we didn't really get to see what his plans for this album where because of the behind the scenes stuff. I feel like would have actually been a good manger but everybody wrote him off so quickly because the two of them where friends. Oh well what's done is done. As long Mariah still makes great music with him. As for Kevin Liles I've never heard of him but I hope Mariah lets him take some control in managing her so that things don't end up like this again.

WMA performance (45,797)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I watched her perform Meteorite and I wasn't really impressed and to be honest I don't really care. As long when she's touring she brings her A game and sings live works the stage and all that jazz. On a side note the acceptance speech was great. I really enjoy watching her acceptance speeches because you really get to see how much she appreciates us as her fans and how thankful she is for what she has.

Tour (45,733)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I've never seen Mariah in concert so I was wondering if someone who's seen her could help me out. Does she do autographs after or before the concert? Is it mostly hits and a few new songs or the opposite way? Does she interact with the fans on stage sometimes?

5s (45,659)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
So with the possibility of Mariah releasing or re-releasing the album I'm thinking 5 could be her lucky number. Has anyone noticed that around the 5 album like right before or after is when an artist hits their peak. Mariah's 5th album was Daydream which was her peak. Then she peaked again with TEOM which was released during 2005. Whitney hit her peak with her 4th album. Michael started peaking with his fifth and peaked fully with his 6th. Hopefully this trend remains true for Mariah with her 15th album released in 2015.

Nick (45,658)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
I really hope all the divorce rumors aren't true. Nick and Mariah truly do look happy together when we see it. I can see why he rumors sound true though. The songs on this album are mostly the exact opposite of love songs and they sold their house. I just think the songs and the house are being blown out of proportion. Mariah was in the honeymoon phase for the last 2 albums so I expect so sad songs. As for the house maybe they just want to be closer so they sold that house to move. I hope that if there is trouble in paradise that they can stick it out and come back stronger than ever. It would suck to see the both of them hurt by a divorce.

Nick (45,630)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
Why are people so quick to put Nick down? Yes he has made mistakes like talking about their sex life which is a no no but other than that there isn't any reason. In the booty video I don't think he chose Nicki Minaj to spite Mariah. He probably just thought "Who has the biggest butt?" It would've been cute had he said Mariah but not true. A brick wall has more booty than Mariah. If it was breast week Mariah would have won hands down but it wasn't. It's not like he's saying I'm going to dump Mariah and go with Nicki. He's just saying she has a big butt at least Mariah's butt is real. As for her career Nick didn't ruin Mariah's. Nick has very little input in her career. He suggested redoing covers for MOAIA and he's directed videos but Mariah if she wanted to could say no I don't want Nick doing this or that. Nick's not forcing his way in if anything she's letting him in.

Voice during Butterfly era (45,580)
by Darryle from USA
| |
|
|
Butterfly is my favorite album/era so I may be slightly biased but I think that her voice during Butterfly was amazing. She'd just started whispering then so it was a smooth whisper that flowed like honey. Her runs were out of this world and they made each song she sung 10 times better. Her belts where top notch and really resonant. My favorite part of her voice was how raspy it was and how husky her lows where. Her lows and her rasp is showcased in her performance of "Over the rainbow/if you only knew".
